MELVILLE FACTS:

Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet.

Melville wrote the well known novel, Moby Dick.

Melville lived in New York.

Melville sailed on a least five different ships: The Saint Laurence, Acushnet, The Lucy Anne, The Charles and Henry, and the United States.

Melville moved to Albany after his father, Allen Gansevoort Melville, lost his small business to financial problems.

Melville went to seek fortune at sea in 1839.

Melville married Elizabeth Shaw in 1847.

When Melville's ship docked at one of the Marquesas islands, Melville fled to the jungle to be later greeted and befriended by a native tribe of the island. He stayed there briefly before sailing with an Australian whaler to Tahiti (where, on the boat got the inspiration for Moby Dick). Melville finally reached home in1844.

Melville spent 14 months on a U.S. Navy frigate.

• SHILOH
• by: Herman Melville (1819-1891)
• 
  
• Skimming lightly, wheeling still,
• The swallows fly low
• Over the field in clouded days,
• The forest-field of Shiloh--
• Over the field where April rain
• Solaced the parched one stretched in pain
• Through the pause of night
• That followed the Sunday fight
• Around the church of Shiloh--
• The church so lone, the log-built one,
• That echoed to many a parting groan
• And natural prayer
• Of dying foemen mingled there--
• Foemen at morn, but friends at eve--
• Fame or country least their care:
• What like a bullet can undeceive!
• But now they lie low,
• While over them the swallows skim
• And all is hushed at Shiloh.

Gold in the Mountainby:Herman MelvilleGold in the mountain,And gold in the glen,
And greed in the heart,
Heaven having no part,And unsatisfied men.

Healed of My Hart
By: Herman Melville
Healed of my hurt, I laud the inhuman Sea--
Yea, bless the Angels Four that there convene;
For healed I am even by the pitiless breath
Distilled in wholesome dew named rosmarine

In placid hours well-pleased we dream
Of many a brave unbodied scheme.
But form to lend, pulsed life create,
What unlike things must meet and mate:
A flame to melt--a wind to freeze;
Sad patience--joyous energies;
Humility--yet pride and scorn;
Instinct and study; love and hate;
Audacity--reverence. These must mate,
And fuse with Jacob's mystic heart,
To wrestle with the angel--Art.
